Free-agent right-handed reliever Mark Lowe, with the Texas Rangers
for the last 2 1/2 years, will have a throwing session for all
interested teams on Wednesday in Peoria, Ariz.

Lowe missed seven weeks last season because of a strained intercostal
muscle. Agent Jeff Frye, the former Rangers’ second baseman, set up the
workout to show teams that Lowe is healthy.

The Rangers have shown no interest in bringing back Lowe. He was 0-2
with a 3.43 in 39 1/3 innings last season and fell to the bottom of the
bullpen pecking order. Lowe often entered when the Rangers were losing,
and the club was 13-23 in his appearances.

Australian left-hander Ryan Rowland-Smith will also participate in
the workout. Rowland-Smith spent last season with Triple-A Iowa of the
Chicago Cubs’ organization. Rowland-Smith last appeared in the majors in
2010, when he went 1-10 with a 6.75 ERA with Seattle.
